Pinnacles Range, a December Ride

So today I made the most of this week's nice weather and went on a 280-miles solo ride along the Pinnacles Mountain Range here in California. To get there, I had to ride across the whole Central Valley under a very dense fog.  Needless to say, I had a real blast.

The Route (https://goo.gl/maps/fJGbP):
- CA180 from Fresno to Mendota
- Little Panoche (J1) from Mendota to Tres Pinos
- CA25 then CA98 to Coalinga
- CA145 and CA180 back to Fresno


I'm ready to cross the San Joaquin Valley (70 miles) in heavy fog.





This is why I ride!




Yeah, not today.































The way back across the valley was even worse!
